PestilencePony Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 i am trying to use the keyboard/mouse on this computer for my second computer, i have installed synergy on both devices and activated them, when i try to start synergy on my second pc it says "failed to connect to server: server already has a connected client with our name"
PestilencePony Posted June 6, 2017 Author Posted June 6, 2017 They are two windows 10 PCs running AMD Processors both connected to the network modem via ethernet
Paul Suarez Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Please provide more details about your machines (OS, 32/64 bit, Synergy version installed, connected to the network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, specify which one is the server). Also, post a screenshot of both machine's Synergy interface and the Server Configuration interface on your server machine.
PestilencePony Posted June 6, 2017 Author Posted June 6, 2017 Windows 10 64 bit on both PCs, Synergy Basic, connected to the network via ethernet, the computer I am using now is the server.
Paul Suarez Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Consider one machine's screen name since they both use Home-PC. You can refer to Getting started with Synergy Knowledge base article on steps on how to setup/configure.
JDDoesIT Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 One PC may be named gaming PC, but in both screenshots of the client and server they both refer to themselves as Home-PC. Make sure that both instances of Synergy refer to themselves as unique names, most commonly their host names.
JDDoesIT Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 And what do you have on your Screens and links tab on your server configuration?
PestilencePony Posted June 7, 2017 Author Posted June 7, 2017 i got it to say its connected to server but my mouse wont move to the other pc screen
PestilencePony Posted June 7, 2017 Author Posted June 7, 2017 on my server pci added a screen for the client pc asnd gave them the same name
